An incredible scene this morning. I was coming back from Hayden Valley when I saw a herd of elk in the Yellowstone River. It was right across the river from a picnic area so I pulled in and grabbed both of my cameras. When I got out of my car I could hear one of them bugling so I stayed amongst the trees and used my zoom. Unfortunately, two other guys pulled in and hurried right up to the rivers edge and scared the herd away. When I turned around I noticed that the entire parking area had filled up and even a couple of NPS employees had pulled in. Too bad that the rest of the people missed most of the sights and sounds of the herd.
